Finance and Health Minister T. Harish Rao said works on the ring road in the district headquarters town on about 41 kilometres have been completed within four months at an estimated cost of ₹160 crore.
Addressing a gathering after planting a sapling along the ring road at Pullur in Siddipet Rural mandal on Tuesday as part of the Telangana Formation Day celebrations, Mr. Harish Rao said the road resembled the runway of the Shamshabad airport.
“We were forced to cut some trees as part of laying the ring road. So, we have decided to plant saplings, at an estimated cost of ₹3.34 crore, on both sides of the ring road to bring back the greenery,” said Mr. Harish Rao.
